I have noticed that when trimming up or down at low revs I get a slight dip in revs when the trim motor is running , I assume this is due to power being drawn away from the injectors to the trim motor . Am I alone or do all Optimax engines do this or am I about to suffer some ghastly failure ?

It's no different than whacking the car headlights on main beam on tick over. The alternator is loaded and the revs dip.
I would not think that it's anything to worry about. Just make sure the main 12v connections at both the battery and the engine are good, clean and well greased.
I have had same when trimming out enging - makes sense that it is a dip in power. But just think of the extra forward thrust the hydraulics are giving while operating
oh yes got that one too ,no problem, its just due to the low revs and low power output, as they said head lights on the car,find something else to worry about!

Hmmm, can't say I've noticed that, although I also can't say I trim it at low revs! Got a charter tomorrow, so I'll give it a go.
